The color of the light inside the aircraft was a dark red. Ivan was piloting the Papadragon. The rest waited in the cargo.

"So…How did your wife take the news?" Rose asked Carter.

"She was reluctant at first. Threatened to leave me. but I could convince her not too. We are on short terms at the moment, at least she is safe at Draco isle." He answered. "How did your parents take the news?"

"Well… I had some trouble at first. I had to force them onto the isle. They had a conversation with Lao Shi and Jonathon. They still don't know if they should be scared or help. But my sister doesn't mind at all. She only thinks it's cool."

Carter shook his head.

"War never is cool. People die. A lot of leaders say we fight for peace. In my opinion how do you create peace out of suffering. One war will lead to another. Maybe at this moment the world has peace with each other. They only think an enemy of my enemy is my friend. As soon as this war is over they will find new reasons to start one which each other. Listen Rose, the world won't end by a giant solar flare or disintegration of the planet. We will blow it into great beyond. Before nature even has a chance to help us."

Rose did not know if she needed to react. She nodded and they were silent again. After several minutes Ivan's voice could be heard over the speaker.

"We will arrive at destination in three minutes."

Carter walked up to the intercom system.

"Ivan enable cloak. This time I want to be seen if they are already too late."

He turned back to Rose.

"And besides Rose we haven't fired a single bullet at each other and this war already destroyed a lot of families."

"What do you mean?" Rose asked.

"Some people aren't willing to accept the one they have been living with their entire life is a fire breathing dragon. We are the lucky ones who have people who accept it. Andam wasn't so lucky."

Rose knew he was right that they were lucky. She only nodded and placed her helmet over her head.

They flew three minutes longer and the cloaked aircraft hovered above the Huntsclan base.

"Remember Ivan as soon as we're in. I want you to head to the hangar's entrance we will open it so you can enter. If something goes wrong we will contact you for pick up coordinates." Carter said.

"Roger that." Ivan said as the rest got onto the roof. "Good luck comrades."

They saw the vague outlines which formed the aircraft take off and they were alone on the roof.

"We are not taking chances. Set weapons to kill." Ace said.

Carter turned his head towards Ace and gave him a questioning look.

"I lost two great men to those monsters I am not going to lose anyone else. So it's my way or the highway." He said with a stern face.

Carter gave a single nod and switched to kill.

They carefully entered the building through the roof door.

"How do we get downstairs?" Ace asked as he checked a corner.

"Elevator, Of course." Rose flatly said.

She pressed a few buttons and a hidden panel showed.

"identification required." A computerized female voice said.

She ungloved her hand and placed the birthmark in front of the scanner. The computer scanned it and responded with.

"Identification, unrecognized. You have two tries left."

"Crap, they must have reset the main system, I'm not in the system anymore" Rose said as she hit the panel.

"If they can reset the main system, how do we know they did not do it to Mortis. This could be a trap." Aurora said as she raised her weapon alerted.

"Mortis, has his own system as long they can't reset his memory cores. Which are located under the hangar. He is safe and besides if they would have reset him he would not be able to contact me."

"Enough chatter, we do this the old fashion way. We use the stairs. I want it clean and soundless." Carter said.

"Won't work the elevator is the only way to get into the hangar." Rose informed.

"Just our luck." Ace chuckled sarcastic.

"Let me try." Yuri said. "I know a few things about elevators and computer systems."

Carter nodded.

Yuri walked into the elevator and looked at the control panel. He nodded.

"Rose, when was this elevator installed?"

"I don't know maybe in the seventies. But I am not sure." She said.

"I know enough."

Yuri searched the elevator and tapped the ceiling with the butt of his pistol.

"Found it." He exclaimed.

"Found what?" Ace asked.

Yuri did not react. He ripped the facing of the ceiling and pulled out the hatch that was located above it. He climbed through the hole he created. He placed himself in a way he supported himself against the wall instead of the elevator.

"Rifle." He shouted. He accepted the RBR-01 which was given to him by Aurora. "Better get out of the lift or you have the desire to become pancake."

As soon as Aurora was out of the elevator. Ivan braced himself and aimed for the steel wire that kept the elevator in place.

"next floor…splatter" and he took the shot.

The wire melted away by the beam that came out of the weapon and the lift started to race down. Ivan gracefully swung himself back to the room where the others were.

"I thought you said you knew about panels and elevators." Ace said taken aback.

"Yes I do, elevators before 1990 don't have emergency brakes. So it goes all the way down creating a way for us to reach the lower floor by abseiling."

"We did not take any rope smart-ass." Ace said a-matter-of-factly.

Ivan turned and pressed a few buttons on the suit. At his midsection came out a hook. He attached it to a beam in the elevator shaft. And turned to the rest.

"Back in Russia I got bored so I investigated the suit it has abseiling equipment. Just press 4252 and enter attach hook to beam and follow me."

"They all did what them was told.

One by one they attached the hook from the suit on the beam which was first used to support the elevator. Ace the last one to go down closed the lift door.

After a few reattaching of the hook because they did not have enough rope they arrived at the bottom of the elevator shaft. The elevator was totally destroyed as Yuri stepped on it, it lowered even more by his weight.

They all arrived and checked their equipment. It went smooth so far but they did not know what was at the other end of this room.

"On three." Ace said and braced the RBR-01 against his shoulder. "One…Two…Three!"

Aurora and Rose pulled open the elevator door and Ace, Yuri and Carter jumped through, backs against each other's and scanning the room.

"No one?" Carter said to nobody in particular and lowered his rifle.

"They have been busy" Yuri said as he pointed to digging gear and cutting equipment.

There already was a hole in the concrete floor several feet deep.

"Just in time. Rose are you able to contact…" Ace said but got interrupted.

"I already know you're here." A voice said.

The all turned their heads towards the sound and found a holographic column displaying a smiling dragon.

"Mortis? Is that you?" Carter asked.

"The one and only. Like my new style. I am still getting used to it myself." He said as he did a three-sixty showing of his new avatar. "The grim reaper does not get a lot of smiles from people you know. so I changed."

"Status." Rose said in a demanding way.

"All systems green. They haven't been able to get through the first layers of concrete. So everything is untouched."

"Good." Rose said. "Are there things we need to know? Like where the hell is everybody."

"I don't know a team of four men enter here every day work from 0600 hours to 2000 hours. My theory is that they don't think the dragons know of this location. So they don't need guards."

"Understood, Mortis open the hangar door so our ride can come in."

Out of the long corridor came the aircraft carrying Ivan. He landed on flight deck A and exited the Aircraft.

"That was quick no problems on the way?" he asked.

"Not yet. So mortis how do we get you to Draco isle?" Ace asked.

"I have several robots they are disassembling my system now. Once it's disassembled my onboard power sources can sustain me for 24 hours at middle intensity. So I will need to be hooked up to a more permanent power source as soon as possible."

Ace nodded and they waited for Mortis to finish the last things that needed to be done. After this the command center moved out of the way and from underneath it came several large boxes that contained computer hardware. Robots that accompanied it. Started to move the parts into the aircraft.

"It isn't going to fit." Rose stated.

"I am aware of that. I will control several aircrafts so everything can come with us. If you want I can also take weapons from the weapons cache."

"Do it." Rose ordered.

Mortis did what he needed and now the Papadragon and Six cargo aircrafts were filled with Mortis system and weapons. They got into the aircraft. Carter who looked one last time to the gaping hole in the ground whispered.

"This was too easy."

The aircraft took off.

Xxxx

Several minutes after the group has left.

A man came out of the shadow and had a wide grin on his face.

"Strike three Carter. You're out."

He said as he looked at a device in his hand which displayed a map and a bleeping red dot.

So chapter two… well again I don't really have a A/N maybe if I update EBB. Well…

Reviews are love, (- a little bit over the top:D)
